I normally sit right on the seat by Scooby when it is on. You see I turn it on for me and not them!!! My neighbor built a mantel for his fireplace which is identical to mine, but I know I would have cats jumping up there to roast themselves slowly over the fire if I had a mantel.

You MUST enter this photo in a photo contest (or make some kind of a holiday card out of it or something!!) Scooby’s expression, the hat, EVERYTHING is to die for! This is BEYOND ADORABLE!!!!! I just love it! I pinned it and linked to you. Also, I LOVE your home, soooo cozy!

He likes his winter gear. His fur is very short. He was out walking in the snow last year. This time, although he knew he was going outside, when he got his coat and hat on, it was not as much fun as he expected.

Such a cute photo. He does not seem to be really happy about his new coat but he is tolerating it with an expression of resigned acceptance. I like your stove very much. Cats really love to sit near a place of warmth and just stare at the flickering flames.
